Fuze / Igniter ?

[juno-44]

Hi,

Does anyone recognize this type of fuze / igniter measuring 95mm in length and if so is it German?

The lower part this is probably a bakelite pull friction fuze part for stick grenades (very late WW II edition); threaded to it is the brass metal coupler item, which doesn't belong to this configuration. This adapter was mostly used to connect a time fuse on one side and a pull-friction igniter with M10x1 thread size on the other.! Both items WW II, be careful wit the metal end of the bakelite part!!!!!!!

Hm, interesting item, Juno, quite suitable for the "guess what it is"-competition.

The two brass pipes are a German Verbindungs- & Klemmhuelse; connection sleeve and collet between a usual ZDSCHNANZ (lighter) and safety fuze.
The left part, obviously with M 10x1 thread, I've never seen yet; it's a very unusual part. Can't recognize any function?:hmmmm:
Some more detailed pics would be much appreciated.

Here are close up photos of the igniter and brass sleeve hoping this will be of help.

Hi,
I also have never seen this unusual bakelite/metaltube combination. With its central narrow tube and the 3-holed crimped in lid, this looks like a smoke / gas emitting training device.
